2014 FORD FUSION Structurebody Problems

Driving down the road and the trunk popped open on its own. It has happened multiple times while driving. The trunk will just open up on its own without pushing the button or anything.

When I went to unload groceries from my 2014 Ford Fusion SE, the Driver side Rear door did not latch closed. Despite not latching, the warning that the door was open did not come on. I read that there was a recall back in 2020 for a similar issue in states that were subjected to warmer temperatures. I have not yet gotten the issue inspected but will be taking the car to a mechanic. NHTSA is welcome to inspect my car if given enough notice.

The driver's side door stopped latching today. Obviously, driving a car with a door that does not latch is a serious issue!

Trunk continues to unlatch and open on its own. It pops open when driving or parked and if vehicle is in motion causing things to fly out of trunk and hit other cars. I have had professionals look at it and it still doesn’t work. The trunk open indicator on the dash always clicks, lights up, and says trunk ajar.

Trunk opens while vehicle is in motion. Warning light will alert me the trunk is open but it has happened twice over the last week. My knee cannot reach the trunk open button and the key is a fob with a flip out key, so there is no way to have accidently hit the button on the fob while in motion. Nothing in the trunk is high enough to accidently pull the emergency latch.

BACK UP CAMERA WOULD BE IN PARK. AS SONN AS I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE THE SCREEN WOULD GO BLACK OTHER TIMES IT WOULD GO IN AND OUT. SUNROOF SEAL IS LEAKING!!! ENGINE- I NOTICES WHEN IM AT THE STOP LIGHT TURNS GREEN MY VEHICLE TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO ACCELERATE, IT MAKES A HORRIBLE PULL STRAIGHTFORWARD MOTION. I NOTICES THE BODY PAINT CHIPS HORRIBLE IN ODD PLACES ON THE VEHICLE.

I RECEIVED A WRITTEN NOTICE FROM FORD CORPORATE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO A RECALL CONCERNING DOOR LATCH SPRINGS. IT DIRECTED ME TO RECORD THE MODEL NUMBER OF EACH OF THE FOUR DOOR LATCHES. THIS I DID AND WAS FURTHER DIRECTED TO GO ONLINE TO WEB SITE TO RECORD THE NUMBERS. THE WEB SITE DOESN'T EXIST AND WHEN YOU GO THERE YOU GET A FAULT 404. WHEN I THEN CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER,FORD COUNTRY IN HENDERSON, NV THEY MADE ME AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO CHECK THE LATCHES. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE APPOINTED TIME, I WAS TOLD THAT I MUST LEAVE THE VEHICLE OVER NIGHT AS THERE WERE 18 OTHER VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME. WHY WOULD A DEALERSHIP SCHEDULE 19 VEHICLES AT THE SAME TIME FOR A VISUAL INSPECTION WHICH TOOK ME LESS THAN 15 MINUTES TO PERFORM?

I ATTEMPTED TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED UNDER RECALL 20V331 AND THE DEALER SAID THAT "THE RECALL IS FOR DOOR LATCHES THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE YET". I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NO TIMELINE FOR WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THE RECALL SAYS THAT THIS IS TO VERIFY THAT WORK DONE ON 15S16 OR 16S30 WAS DONE CORRECTLY. WHAT IS THE POINT OF A RECALL IF THE COMPANY WON'T FIX THE PROBLEM?

THE PASSENGER DOOR SWUNG OPEN AS I WAS DRIVING. THEN ONCE I STOPPED THE DOOR WOULD NOT CLOSE WHEN I TRIED CLOSING IT. *TR

FAILURE TO LATCH DOORS. IN AUGUST 2019 DRIVERS DOOR OPENS DURING DRIVING AND DID NOT CLOSE. SINCE A YEAR BEFORE THIS HAPPENS IN PASSENGERS DOOR AND DUE TO THE DIFFICULTIES OF GETTING MY MONEY BACK FROM VIVA FORD, I DECIDE TO FIX IT. HOWEVER, IN MAY,2020 THE SAME FAILURE HAPPENED IN BACK DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I FIXED IT BUT I WANT A REFUND OF THE EXPENSES I HAD INCURRED. *TR

IN SEPTEMBER 2019, DURING COMMUTE DRIVING THE BACK DOOR FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE SUDDENLY OPENED AND DID NOT CLOSE AGAIN. AT THE CAR SHOP, I WAS ADVISED THAT A MANUFACTURING ERROR IN THE LATCH DOOR WAS THE CAUSE. I FIXED IT AND I DO WANT A REFUND OF THE EXPENSES INCURRED. *TR

MY 2014 FORD FUSION HAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. THE AC/HEATER JUST COME ON FULL BLAST SOMETIMES AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL.. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I'M TRYING TO DRIVE IN BAD WEATHER. IT WONT EVEN DEFROST MY WINDOWS CORRECTLY.. MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND HAS DONE SO FOR 5 YEARS. FORD DEALERS HAVE NOT HELPED IN ANYWAY EVEN THOUGHT I HAVE A RECALL LETTER STATING THE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SHIFTER CABLE. IT SAID THAT MY CAR ISN'T GOING ALL THE WAY INTO GEAR/PARK AND IT COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR TRANSMISSION IN THE FUTURE AND IT HAS. I NEED HELP, PLEASE! THE SHIFTER CABLE BROKE COMPLETELY OFF AND FIDD HAD IT TOWED TO FIX IT. THEY FIXED IT IN LESS THEN 30MINS BUT DID NOT EVEN LOOK AT MY TRANSMISSION AFTER I TOLD THEM THAT MY CAR IS DRIVING HORRIBLE. IT HAS NO POWER HARDLY WHEN I PRESS...

THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED. *TR

PARKED VEHICLE. OPENED REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR TO REMOVE ITEMS. CLOSE DOOR, AND WOULD NOT LATCH. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE AND LATCH. STILL WOULD NOT SECURE CLOSED. HAD A INDEPENDENT GARAGE REPAIR UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY.

MY BACK DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LATCH CAME OPEN WHILE DRIVING. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. THE DOOR WOULDN'T STAY CLOSED AND HAD TO REPLACE MY DOOR LATCH ACTUATOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 20 MPH, THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AS THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO PULL OFF OF THE ROADWAY, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR SWUNG OPEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKE TO AN UNKNOWN FORD DEALER, LOCATED IN BRADENTON, FLORIDA, WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE VIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 29,000.

ON 6/29/17 I HAD A RECALL FOR THE DOOR LATCHES THEY WERE ALL REPLACED, I HAD 42,984 MILES, IN 2019 UNTIL NOW 2020 I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT MY DRIVER DOOR NOT LATCHING AND THE " DRIVER DOOR AJAR" MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE DASH I HAVE HAD A COUPLE OF TIMES WHERE I WAS DRIVING AND HAD TO PULL OFF TO CLOSE THE DOOR I TOOK IT A MONTH AGO WITH THIS COMPLAINT , BUT OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE, SO I CALLED A FORD REP CUSTOMER SERVICE, SHE SAID YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP I SAID I DID SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT DOESN'T DO IT FOR THEM, WELL NOW I SEE 2014 FORD FUSION IS HAVING ANOTHER RECALL FOR THE DOOR LATCHES BUT MINE ISN'T ONE OF THEM FOR THE RECALL, IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE I AND WHOEVER DRIVES MY CAR ARE IN DANGER OF...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, A DOOR LATCH FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FAILED TWICE, WHILE THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR ALSO EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO POWER FORD LOCATED AT (1101 MONTAO RD NE, ALBUQUERQUE, NM 87107) AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT LINKED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V210000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) WITH THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,800.

IN A PREVIOUS RECALL FOR CERTAIN FOR FUSIONS MANUFACTURED FOR 2013 MODEL YEAR TO 31-OCT-2013. WE FIND THAT THE EXACT ISSUE/PROBLEM FOR WHICH THE FUSION WAS RECALLED IS EFFECTING OUR 2014 IN THE SAME EXACT WAY. *DT*JB IN ALL OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE DOOR LATCHES HAVE A PAWL SPRING TAB THAT MAY BREAK. THIS CONDITION WILL TYPICALLY PREVENT THE DOOR FROM LATCHING. IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS WHERE THE DOOR IS ABLE TO BE CLOSED, THE DOOR MAY UNLATCH WHILE DRIVING, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY. WHEN WE CALLED OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WE WERE DIRECTED TO CALL FORDS CUSTOMER SOLUTIONS DEPARTMENT. WE WERE INFORMED OUR VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE THAT RECALL AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE IN LUE OF FIXING OUR ISSUE BY REPLACING THE DOORS LATCH. OUR PARTICULAR DOOR EFFECTED IS THE RIGHT, PASSENGER REAR. WE DID HAVE THE ISSUE REPAIRED BY A LICENSED AUTO SHOP. BUT THE FACT...

THE PASSENGER DOOR WONT LATCH ON. I OPENED IT TO GET OUT AND AS I CLOSED THE DOOR IT STAYED OPEN, I TRIED AGAIN AND IT DID NOT WANT TO WORK, I FIGURED THE LATCH MIGHT OF GONE BAD AND I CHECKED AND SEVERAL FUSION HAD RECALLS FOR THIS BUT MINE DID NOT.

ITS BEEN 3 YEARS SINCE I HAVE HAD MY CAR AND I HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED BY FORD THAT I HAVE A RECALL. NOT BY PHONE, EMAIL, OR EVEN IN PERSON. THE ONLY REASON I KNOW I HAVE THREE IS BECAUSE OF MY FAMILY MEMBER WHO NOTIFIED ME. I HAVE CALLED MULTIPLE FORD DEALERSHIPS TO COMPLAIN AND GET IT FIXED BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO WANT TO HELP. EVERY TIME I GO OR CALL THEY TAKE MY NUMBER AND THAT IS IT. SO I JUST KEEP GOING TRUSTING THEY WILL CALL ME BACK. AND THIS WEEK MY CAR STARTS TO HAVE TROUBLES AND MY TRANSMISSION HARD SHIFTS INTO SECOND GEAR AND I DAMAGE THE FRONT AND BUMPER OF MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE SAYS THE PROBLEM COMES FROM THE RECALLED PART. AND NOW MY CAR IS PARKED UNTIL I CAN GET IT FIXED AND...

THE REAR PASSENGER DOORS LATCH WILL NOT WORK THE KEEP DOOR CLOSED. I JUST GOT HOME FROM TOWN AND UN BUCKELED MY 4 YR OLD DAUGHTER AND WHEN I WENT TO CLOSE THE DOOR IT WOULDNT STAY SHUT. THE HAPPEND AROUND AROUND 3:50 PM ON 11/07/2019 I WILL BE TAKING IT TO OUR LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TOMORROW MORNING

DOOR DOES NOT LATCH WHEN CLOSING.

10/3/19 MY 17 YEARS OLD DAUGHTER DROVE HER 2014 FORD FUSION HOME TO CHANGE FOR WORK. UPON LEAVING TO DRIVE TO WORK HER DRIVER DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH TO STAY CLOSED. CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO BE TOLD THE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF A RECALL. HAD THE DOOR FIXED WITH A RELIABLE MECHANIC, $386.59. PICKED THE CAR UP ON 10/6/19. MY DAUGHTER DROVE TO A FRIEND'S HOUSE, PICKING UP TWO FRIEND'S, ONE RIDING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND THE OTHER IN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE. WHILE MAKING A TURN, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE DRIVING IN THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, STARTLING HER FRIEND. THANKFULLY, THEY HAD NOT GOTTEN TO THE HIGHWAY YET! ANOTHER RETURN TRIP TO THE MECHANIC, $594.66. I AM AWARE OF ISSUES WITH FORD FUSION AND LINCOLN MKZ FROM 2013 TO 2014 AND FORD FIESTA FROM 2011 TO 2014 REGARDING DEFECTIVE LATCHES...

I HAVE EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE WITH MY DOOR LATCH ON MY VEHICLE TWICE. THE FIRST TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO ON MY FRONT DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE DOOR LATCH REMAINED OPEN AND DID NOT LOCK SHUT WHEN CLOSING THE DOOR. THIS RESULTED IN THE DOOR REMAINING OPEN. WHEN RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I FOUND THAT A RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM HAD BEEN ISSUED ON 2013-2015 FORD FUSIONS. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT COVERED IN THE ISSUE. I ENDED UP PAYING $300 OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS LAST WEEK I HAD THIS SAME ISSUE OCCUR ON MY REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY AGAIN STATED THAT THE RECALL DID NOT EXTEND TO MY VIN NUMBER AND WOULD NOT REPLACE THE DOOR LATCHES ON MY CAR. I WILL AGAIN BE...

1. WHEN PUMPING GASOLINE, THE LEVER CLICKS OFF EVERY 1-2 SECONDS, TAKING LONG TIME TO FILL GAS TANK, AND NEVER KNOWING IF OVER-FILLING. I MUST REPEATEDLY TURN THE IGNITION ON/OFF/ON IN ORDER TO SEE THE GAS GAUGE. 2. THE BODY DENTS EASILY.

I WAS DRIVING MY FATHER TO THE STORE AND WHEN I TURNED A CORNER HIS PASSENGER DOOR FLEW OPEN. THANKS TO HIS SEAT BELT HE REMAINED IN THE CAR. DIDN'T SEEM THE SAFEST THING, BUT HE HAD TO HOLD IT SHUT UNTIL WE GOT HOME. DOOR LATCH SEAMS TO BE BROKEN AS IT WILL NO LONGER LATCH SHUT. (CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET IN TRAFFIC MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A STOPLIGHT.

REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR LATCH AND/OR COMPONENTS FAILED TO FUNCTION, CAUSING THE DOOR TO SWING OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.*DT*JB

WHILE OUT AT CONCERT, I PARKED AND MY DRIVERS DOOR WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED. I DISCOVERED THAT THE ROTARY LATCH IN THE DOOR ITSELF WAS LOCKING SHUT. I FOUND THE RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE ON CLOSE TO A MILLION VEHICLES(300K OF MY MODEL) BUT MIRACLE OF MIRACLES, MINE ISN'T ON LIST. I HAD TO HOLD MY DOOR SHUT TO DRIVE HOME THAT EVENING. NOW, THE ONLY REAL ANSWER IS DEALER REQUIRING MORE UNSAFE ACTS TO DO SO.

DOOR LATCH BROKEN, PREVENTS DOOR FROM LOCKING CLOSED EVEN WHILE DRIVING.

WAS DRIVING AND MADE A TURN AND MY DRIVER DOOR FLEW OPEN

BOTH MY REAR DOOR LATCHES HAVE FAILED CAUSING THE DOOR TO BE UNABLE TO BE CLOSED SHUT, AND THIS HAS HAPPENED SUDDENLY ONCE WITH MY SON IN THE BACK SEAT NEXT TO THE DOOR. THE DOOR BECOMES UNABLE TO BE CLOSED AND WILL SWING OPEN UPON TURNS ETC. THIS WAS A MAJOR RECALL OF SIMILAR FORD FUSION MODELS IN THE 2014 MANUFACTURER YEAR FOR SOME REASON MY VIN DID NOT POP UP FOR THIS PARTICULAR RECALL BUT CLEARLY IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN AND NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO THIS EXISTING RECALL SO I CAN GET THIS RESOLVED BY THE COMPANY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. UPON INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT HOOD WAS RUSTING. THE CONTACT CALLED CAPITAL FORD LINCOLN OF ROCKY MOUNT (2012 STONE ROSE DR, ROCKY MOUNT, NC 27804, (252) 977-1234) FROM WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED; HOWEVER, A RESPONSE WAS NOT RECEIVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

FORD RECALL 15S16 / NHTSA 17V210 OCCURRED IN MAY 2017 AND WE HAD DOOR LATCH BROKEN PAWL SPRING TAB REPLACED ON ALL 4 DOORS AS REQUIRE BY THE RECALL. IN JUNE 2019, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR FAILED AGAIN AND WE TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE. THEY REPLACED THE ONE DOOR LATCH MECHANISM AND WE WERE CHARGED $100 FOR THAT REPLACEMENT WHICH WAS THE DEDUCTIBLE ON OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY. WE OPENED UP A THREE CASES WITH FORD AND AUTONATION FORD DEALER IN HOUSTON. CASES 21829217, 21915875 AND 21893152. WE FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD REFUND OUR $100 AND REPLACE THE OTHER 3 LATCHES ONCE AGAIN, WHICH THEY REFUSE TO DO AND THEY CLOSED OUT THE CASES. VERBAL DISCUSSIONS WITH FORD AND WITH AUTONATION HAVE PROVED FUTILE. WHEN THE LATCH FAILS, WE CANNOT CLOSE THE DOOR SECURELY WHICH IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. WE HAVE ELDERLY PARENTS AND SMALL GRANDCHILDREN WHO RIDE IN...

DOOR FLEW OPEN WHILE PROCEEDING THROUGH A TURN AT A CITY INTERSECTION. DISCOVERED DOOR LATCH HAD BROKEN. RESEARCH REVEALED RECALL #17V210000 WHICH DEALERSHIPS REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATING THIS CAR'S VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE NOTICE EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SPECIFICALLY FOR 2014 FORD FUSION. UPON CALLING FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY ADVISED THE SAME BUT IF IT HAPPENS TO ANOTHER CAR IN THE SAME AREA, THEY MAY ISSUE ANOTHER RECALL AT WHICH POINT, THEY'D REFUND THE REPAIR COSTS. RECALL DETAILS INDICATE A COMPONENT WITHIN THE DOOR LATCHES MAY BREAK RESULTING IN THE DOORS NOT SECURING MISLEADING OCCUPANTS TO BELIEVE THAT A DOOR IS SECURE WHEN IT IS NOT. DEALER REPLACED ALL FOUR DOOR LATCHES AT CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE COST TO REPAIR WAS APPROXIMATELY $350.*DT*JB

DOOR WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN DISCOVERED. IT APPEARS TO BE A SPRING OR GEAR MECHANISM BEHIND THE LATCH THAT ISN'T WORKING. ARTICLES SAY THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED BY RECALL, BUT MANUFACTURER SAYS IT ISN'T. NOTICING OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING DOOR LATCHES NOT LATCHING, SO THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED. *DT*JB

THE DRIVER DOOR SWUNG OPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. I ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE DOOR, BUT IT DID NOT LATCH. I HAD TO DRIVE BACK HOME WITH AN UNLATCHED DOOR, HOLDING IT IN PLACE WITH ONE ARM TO PREVENT IT FROM SWINGING OUT AGAIN. *DT*JB

MY PASSENGER DOOR WILL NOT LATCH OR STAY SHUT. MY VIN DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE RECALL. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH MY SITUATION SEEMS IDENTICAL TO FORDS RECALL 15S16 OR ( 17V-210) FORD RECALLED 390K VEHICLES SPANNING THE YEAR MY VEHICLE WAS PRODUCED. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY A FAULTY DOOR LATCH THAT FORD HAS FAILED TO RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THIS OCCURRED HOWEVER THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH UNDER ANY CONDITION NOW. I HAVE TO USE A RATCHET STRAP TO KEEP THE DOOR SHUT.

VEHICLE DOOR SPRING. DOOR MAY COME OPEN AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHILE DRIVING OR NOT DRIVING.THERE'S A RECALL ON THIS CAR.

DOOR LATCHES HAVE BROKEN WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, CAUSING THE DOOR TO SWING OPEN AND REFUSE TO CLOSE ENTIRELY.TWO SEPARATE INSTANCES OF THIS OCCURRING ON DIFFERENT DOORS WITHIN MONTHS OF EACH OTHER.*DT CONSUMER STATED BOTH DRIVER FRONT SIDE AND THE DRIVER REAR DOOR WAS REPAIRED.*JB

FIRST THE DRIVER SIDE PASSENGER DOOR OPEN UP IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING IN JUNE OF 2018 AND NOW SEPTEMBER OF 2018 THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR FLY OPEN IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING DOOR NOT LATCH MAJOR ISSUE AND FORD FUSES TO TAKE RESPONSEAITY FOR THE BAD PRODUCT WHEN THIS IS MAJOR ISSUE AND KNOW THE ISSUE THE DEALERSHIP HAS ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AND THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL

I WAS DRIVING GOING 25 MILES A HOUR ON 9/28/2018 AND THE FRONT DOOR JUST OPEN UP BY ITS SELF WITCH A IS KNOW ISSUE WITH FORD AND DOOR LATCHES AND THEY KEEP SAYING MY VIN# IS NOT PART OF THIS WITCH THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES AND SAID IT SHOULD BE THIS IS THE SECOND DOOR IN THE LAST 3MONTHS TO DO THIS IN CHANDLER AZ WITCH IS UNSAFE TO ME AND THE PEOPLE WHO COULD BE AROUND ME

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK DOES NOT HOLD. YOU CAN CLOSE THE DOOR BUT THE LATCH DOES NOT HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED. THE CAR WAS PARKED AND WHEN WE OPENED AND TRIED TO SHUT THE DOOR, IT WOULD NOT STAY CLOSED.

PASSANGER REAR DOOR WON'T STAY CLOSED

MY DRIVER REAR DOOR LATCH IS BROKE WITCH IS KNOWN ISSUE ON 2014 FORD FUSION AND THERE HAVE BEEN TWO DIFFERENT RECALL AND THEY ARE TRYING TO SAY MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WANT ME TO PAY IT BROKE ON IT'S OWN AND IN SAFE AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE WHEN CONTACT FORD THEY REFUSE TO HELP

2014 FORD FUSION MY CAR HAS HAD MANY RECALLS ALL OF THEM FIXED PROMPTLY MY PASSANGER SIDE DOOR WONT CLOSE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR MY CAR IT IS A 2014 FUSION SITTING AND A STOP SIGN IN THIS LITTLE TOWN MY SON OPENS THE DOOR TO SPIT WHEN HE SHUTS IT WONT CLOSE

THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT DOOR LATCH FAILED, AND SO THE DRIVER'S DOOR WILL NOT LATCH CLOSED. WHEN DRIVING, THE DOOR MUST BE HELD CLOSED BY THE DRIVER (I RESORTED TO TYING A ROPE FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE IN ORDER TO GET THE CAR HOME). WHEN TAKING RIGHT TURNS, IF NOT PROPERLY SECURED BY THE DRIVER'S ARM, THE DOOR WILL FLY OPEN WHICH COULD LEAD TO THE DRIVER BEING EJECTED FROM THE MOVING VEHICLE. AFTER THE DOOR INITIALLY FAILED, I CONTACTED THE NEAREST FORD DEALER ABOUT GETTING THE CAR REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD THE EXISTING DOOR LATCH RECALL DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE AND THAT THEY HAD NO PARTS IN STOCK FOR A REPAIR. FORD ISSUED A RECALL FOR FAULTY DOOR LATCHES ON SPECIFIC 2014 FUSION MODELS. MINE APPARENTLY WAS NOT ONE OF THEM, BUT STILL SUFFERS FROM THE SAME FAULTY DOOR LATCH DESIGN....

I HAVE CALLED TWO LOCAL DEALERS MULTIPLE TIMES DATING BACK TO APRIL (WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR) TO HAVE THE RECALL FIXES PERFORMED, AND CONTINUE TO BE TOLD THE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER (FORD) ONLINE AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V875000 (SEAT BELTS), 17V210000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (VILLAGE FORD LOCATED AT VILLAGE FORD LOCATED AT 11660 US 441 S BELLEVIEW FL 34420) WHERE IT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REMEDY PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 09/01/17*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED ON 7-31-2017. UPDATED 09/05/2017*JS

THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR LATCH FAILED, CAUSING THE DOOR TO OPEN WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET. THIS HAPPENED ONLY 3 MONTHS AFTER THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH ALSO FAILED. MY 2014 FORD FUSION IS NOT CURRENTLY INCLUDED IN THE ALREADY EXISTING RECALL OF THE FAULTY DOOR LATCHES. FORD WILL NOT REIMBURSE OR COVER THE EXPENSES TO HAVE EITHER DOOR LATCH FIXED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME, MY WIFE, AND DAUGHTER.
